Those are important documents that you need for sure.
It's a pain to replace all that.

We don't really have much that couldn't be replaced so that narrows it down quickly.
1. I would definitely try to save my computer or at least the hard drive as my business in there.
2. I have photo of my family history that would break my heart if I lost so I would grab those. I keep them in my office with my computer.
3. I would be sure to grab my wife, she is not replaceable. :)
3a. I would have to grab my guitar as it would help me calm down after all this stress.

At least my life will be there no, I will try to save it, if life is saved many materialistic things can be bought.

The first thing I would save is my laptop which has all my photographs and videos of my family and also has most of the stuff related to office. Then I would like to save as many things as possible in decreasing order of their prices.

I wouldn't be able to pick up my big old computer, it's an old Desk top Computer.
But I guess that would be worth trying.

First thang I would grab is toilet paper, cuz if it's a big enough emergency to make me run from my house....I'm most likely gonna need it.
Second would be underwear, same reason as above.
Third, my video camera...maybe I will be able to make up for my losses if I sell the footage.

I suppose I'd have to grab my disabled husband. He certainly would need help getting out of the house with his walker. Next, I'd grab my purse, because it's so time consuming and expensive to replace what's in there. Plus, I would need some of that info to live and operate until I had a house up and running again. Finally, I would grab the dog's leash to put on the dog, so I wouldn't need to grab her. She doesn't obey well, and wouldn't come with me otherwise. And quite possibly, she would bite the rescuer.

You sure would have your hands full. My dog got hit by a car long time ago.
The guy stopped to check on her and she bit him. That's dogs for you.

Personal documents(ID and Password),family pictures and camera.
If my pets are safe, I don't care much about my jewelry or other possession.
I do care about family pictures and my personal documents.

Hey missy! Well, I would of course take my jewelry and my
cash and probably some clothes! Although, they had better
give some time to get all that stuff together since it is
all scattered in different hiding places! At least the jewelry
is! And I really should have a bag packed and keep it all
in one place because that really is my one major fear! One
time the fire department did knock on my door and tell me
that I might have to evacuate because of a gas leak and I
just stood there paralyized and didn't move! So I could see
that if I did have to leave I wouldn't have been much good
at getting anything together! Luckily, I didn't have to leave
that time!

If I had such an emergency like a fire or something where I had to leave my home, what 3 items would I grab ? This is a very good question. I think the first thing other than my children or pets would be my pictures.. The other things would probably be my pocket book, and my laptop.
